Anytime you make a mistake
Anytime you begin to regret
You pour your feelings into a bottle
You never know when to stop
You don't know when enough

You never know when to quit
You never know when to hold back
You don't see how you're destroying me

I'm taking ahold of my life
I'm waiting till you're sober
Tell me when this nightmare's ended
Tell me when you're sober
